Pet Peeve ?

[SIBUD]

Mine is those who ask for "advise" as well as those who want to "advice" me. :wave

[Rasbutan]

Mine is when people hijack a thread about riding in warm weather with some stupid political :sick

Silk: I'd advice you to get out and ride :stick

[BeemoKat]

How about "ridding" and "ridders"? I see that one often on this board. Are you riding your motorcycle or ridding yourself of it?

[RebeccaV]

It helps to talk about it, doesn't it?? :) :nod

Now I'm one of those folks who've posted in the wrong thread!
You're right, it does help to vent.

and doesn't even show up because it's so old and then, with a lot of gall, someone posts today and makes it look like I'm and idiot. :D :D

[Stuff2C]

People that sweat the little stuff...like...lets see...pet peeves :stick

[glwestcott]

Figuring out, seventy miles from nowhere, that it isn't those grooves in the road, its a flat rear tire now showing steel belts... :banghead

[jdmetzger]

I've said it before and I'll say it again:

"Farkle" does not mean "motorcycle accessories". It's the proper name of a dice game.

If you're looking for a more accurate word to replace it, try switching to "tchotchke". In the meantime, I'll try switching to caffeine-free! :D

Ahhh, the notorious "Grocer's Plural!"

[kreinke]

I'm sure my lovely wife has her peeves outnumbering mine at about a 5/1 ratio (not puttin the lid down, replacing roll, putting hats on the kitchen table, etc).

The ONLY real pet peeve I have of her is the fact that while she hates SCI-FI as a rule, and doesn't know Dr. Who from Dr. Phil, she does believe that the kitchen garbage can is dimentionally trancendental. :banghead

[Motor31]

Mine is about people who post their peeves thinking anyone else wants or needs to know about them................



























oops :stick

[Catman]

My pet peeve is when my Cocker Spaniel peeves on the living room rug. :cat

[nhlkats]

My favorite is when the asshat in front of you in a cage decides to stop at the red in the right-most lane, while other lanes are open, and you need to turn right, and s/he is going straight. :hungover

[TheSlashFiveTourer]

Pet peeve? Yeah, one comes to mind right away: People in the neighbourhood who look at my pristine 1973 R75/5 and boldly ask me if I'm still riding "that thing!" ` ` Aaagghhhhhhhh!

A plague on their houses! And may their firstborn drive unsprung Knuckleheads forever! ` ` :gerg

[jgr451]

Good find Boxergrrlie.I remembered that was out there somewhere.

My pet peeve is that I still have to look at the letters on the keyboard to be more or less sure of hitting the right ones...and then discovering THE CAPS LOCK HAS BEEN ON FOR THE LAST 20 MINUTES.

nOW MORE HAIKU would be good.

That's me ASSHAT(?) and I do that when I am going to turn right at the NEXTstreet or driveway or just because I feel there is an ASSHAT behind me and I just want to pi$$ him off. I also do that on my bike occasionally. There is no law against it and if it fits into my scheme of getting around quickly and safely to my destination of point B after I have just left point A then that is what I do. If I get behind a ASSHAT that happens to stop in the right lane for a red light and he is not going to turn right, I just tune my radio, take a sip of coffee and relax for an extra thirty seconds at most. The route I take going anywhere does not take into consideration the ease and comfort or hurried pace of other drivers. If thirty seconds makes that much difference in the day for you, I suggest you leave for work five or ten minutes earlier.
Excuse the rant but I just had an impatient cage driver whip around me on the left then turn right in front of me in my cage just as the light turned green and I was starting to go. In plain English, you never know what is going on in someone else's head or what that other guy's day has been like so if common courtesy would only prevail, there would be a Billion $ (?) saved each year on smashed cars and many lives saved.

Well FritzC, that is quite the asshaty thing to do, in regards to the impatient driver who cut you off [not to mention dangerous!].

But you purposely and malisciously wanting to piss off another driver doesnt sound very comforting or considerate to me :stick

[/hiJack]

[Stuff2C]

Do they sell asshats and will it keep the sun out of my eyes? :lurk

Can I take that and start a new thread?

1) I'd hate to hijack this one.
2) I don't want to peeve anybody.
3) It can stand on it's own as a thread.

[Stuff2C]

Never mind...

[PacWestGS]

No, but your butt won't get sunburned. :dance

Returning to the theme of the original post, my pet peeve is how so many (young) people overuse the superlative in daily conversation. Every mundane thing in life is either "awesome", "excellent", or something similar. I often wonder how they'd react if they were actually to encounter something that truly was excellent. What would they say? Yes, I bemoan how language skills seem to have gone downhill. Oops, I almost forgot, ever notice how every third word is "like"? By the time these kids are in their twenties, they won't be able to break these habits, and we'll have an entire generation of people who can't carry on an intelligent conversation.

Mark,
I notice the same things, but believe language patterns do change over time. It's so far out and groovy how terms come and go - it's heavy, man!! ... Every hear that - or say it? When was the last time? :dunno

That's like an awsome excellent peeve dude :stick :hide

[GregFeeler]

SWEET :D

Totally!! :bolt

[Mika]

Right arm man. It use to bug me when people used groovy all the time and thought they were being farm out. Like they were laying down some levy fecal matter by saying it, wow man.

Power to the peanuts, rock and roll is here to stay!
:rocker

[PacWestGS]

Wow, Man, that's like to heavy for me to handle, like I was havin' such a awesome time before this... :laugh :laugh :laugh

Someone pass the doobie the room is starting to spin :bolt

[riderR1150GSAdv]

Rawk on dudes!! :stick :D

On thing that ticks me off is when some dude replies to a thread and reposts the entire original post will all 500 fricking photos!! :banghead
Is that really needed?? :bluduh

[Motor31]

Golly gee wilikers Beav. Why did you hold that language rant in so long. I guess that the young people of America will be so limited in their choices of adjectives that they won't be able to mount the world domination scheme you came up with. Darn! :banghead :help :snore
